Bard & Didriksen Pediatrics

Glen Carbon / Edwardsville, Illinois Pediatricians

The founding physicians of Bard and Didriksen Pediatrics have been in practice in the Edwardsville / Glen Carbon area for over 20 years. Since then, we have grown to a large multi-physician practice with five board certified pediatricians, specializing in the care of infants, children, and adolescents.

We offer premier pediatric care in a clean, comfortable and professional office setting. We have both male and female physicians.

Updates & News

As we move to open the state of Illinois some things at Bard and Didriksen will change and some will stay the same.

What is the same?

We are here and ready to provide you and your family with great medical care.
We are scheduling well child exams, school and sports physicals.
We are disinfecting our exam rooms after every patient.
We are regularly disinfecting our waiting rooms and high traffic areas.
Our staff and all persons over the age of 2 entering our building are required to wear a mask.
We are requesting only one person accompany the patient to their appointments.
We are offering telehealth visits through doxy.me for non well child appointments.

What is different?

We will take temperatures of all persons entering our building.
The check in process for the afternoon sick visits will now be over the phone while waiting in their vehicle. This process is to ensure the separation of all well child and sick appointments.

We here at Bard and Didriksen Pediatrics want to thank all our wonderful families for their support and we are excited to see you this summer.
